'IMPROVEMENT IN Hesse-POWER.

I .TO ALLl WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

B'e it known that I, ZCHRIAS TOMAS, of Covington, in the county of Miami, and State of Ohio, have invented anew and improved Horse-Power; and I do 'hereby declare that ,the following is a full, clear, and eitaetdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art tovfmake anduse the saine, reference being had to-thc accompanying drawings, forming-part of this'speciication, in which- Figure 1 is a top or plan view of my improved machine. Figure 2 is a detail sectional view Vof the saine, taken through the line a: ar, lig. 1.

l Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

My invention has forits object to furnish an improved horse-power, so constructed and arranged ,that the labor of loading the horse-power upon and unloading it from a wagon every time it is transported from one place to another may not be necessary. v

And it consists in the combination of the frame or frames, line-shaft, centre-shaft, ropes or chains, and windlass with each other and with the frame of the machine, in permanently attaching the power to the holsters or axles of a wagon, in the combination of the timbers and braces with the wheels of the wagon and frame of tho power, and in the-manner in which the levers or sweeps are attached to the main wheel.

A are the wheels, B are the axles, and C are the holsters of the wagon. D is the frame of the machine, which is permanently and securely attached to the holsters C. E is the drive or master-wheel, which is made dish-shaped, as shownin figs. 1 and 2, and the hub a of which rests and revolves upon a projcetioinf, formed upon the bar or plate F. The wheel E is kept in its proper position while revolving by frietien-wheels or rollers G, attached to the frame D. Upon the linner edge of the rim of the wheel E are formed teeth, into which mesh the teeth of the pinion-wheels H, attached to the shafts I. The upper ends of the shafts I revolve in bearings in the ends of the bar or plate F, and their lower ends in bearings in the frame D. To the lower part of the shafts I are attached `large gear-wheels J, the teeth of which mesh into the teeth ofthe pinion-wheel K, attached to tlLcAcentrc-shaft L. The upper end of the shaft L revolves in bearings in the projection j" ofthe bar F, and in the hub e ofthe wheel E, and its lower end revolves in bearings in the bar M, attached to the frame N. The upper part of the central shaft L is so formed that it will pass up freely through its bearings f', and through the hub e. To the lower part of the shaft L is attached a bevel gear wheel, O, the teeth of which mesh into the teeth of the bevel gear-wheel P, attached to the line-shaft R. The shaft R revolves in bearings in the frame N, and it is so formed that the gear-wheel P may be reversed and placed upon the shaft R, upon the other side of the gear-wheel O, so as'to revolve the shaft R in the opposite direction. The ends of the line-shaft R should be so formed that the machinery te be driven may be coupled to either of its ends, or so that two separate machines may be driven' by the same power at the same time. The frame Nrests upon theframe S, te which it may be permanently-attached, er into which it may 'be framed. The ends of the diagonal frame S rest against the timbers T. The timbers T pass across the machine through the opposite wheels, and have notches or cross` slots formed upon their lower sides, to receive the rims ofthe said wheels. The timbers T and frames N and S rest upon and are s ecurely`pinned to the ground, so as to hold the machine immovably in place while being operated. v A are inclined braces, the upper ends of which enter sockets attached to the frame D, and their lower ends are pinned to the timbers T, to give still greater stability to the machine. U are the levers er draught-bars, to which thehorses are attached, and which are placed in sockets V, formed upon or secured to the wheel E, as shown in figs. 1 and 2; the inner lsocket being placed at a higher elevation than the outer one, 'so that the outer end of the said bars may project downward into a convenient position for the attachment of the horses. To the frame N, upon opposite sides, or to hails attachedA thereto, are attached the lower ends of the ropes or chains W, which pass over the pulleys X, pivoted to the frame D, and their upper ends are attached to the shaft or windlass Y, pivoted to the end of the frame D. Dy revolving the axle Y, by means of a lever, Z, or a crank, the frame N and its attachments will be raised up away from the ground, so that the machine may be readily drawn from place to place.

What I claim as new, and desire to' secure by Letters Iatcnt', is- 1. The combination of the frame or frames N S, line-shaft D, and centre-shaft L with eachother, substan tially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination ofthe ropes or chains W und shaft 0r windlass Ywith the frame N und its attachments, and With the frame D, substantially :is herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. Permanently attaching the power to the holsters o1' axles of a. wagon, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

4. The combination of the timbers T and braces A with the Wheels A and frame D of the machine, suhstantially as herein shown and described, und for the purpose set forth.
